| Opplysninger | Decisions : the source of human power is neither muscle nor mind but models -- Framing : mental models infuse everything we do, even if we're unaware of them -- Causality : we are causal-inference engines and often wrong, but this is good -- Counterfactuals : envisioning worlds that do not exist lets us excel in this one -- Constraints : our vision needs to be bounded to be effective -- Reframing : occasionally we need to switch frames or invent new ones -- Learning : a wide variety of frames is essential for progress -- Pluralism : a coexistence of frames is essential to humanity's survival -- Vigilance : people must remain on guard not to cede their power.. - "We're always told that humans make bad decisions and that more data is better. But this is backwards: people are actually good at decisions because we use mental models and can envision new realities outside of data. Great outcomes don't depend so much on the final moment of choosing but on generating better alternatives to choose between. That's framing. It's a cognitive muscle we can strengthen to improve our lives, work and future -- to meet this historical moment. Framers shows how."
